Formatting a brand new hard disk
This section describes how to format an E-IDE hard disk used for the current drive, assuming that a hard disk
has already been installed in the recorder.
1.Turn on the power to the recorder.
The recorder displays the ROM version, time and date,
then displays [Initializing...], [Current IDE Drv],
[(model name of the hard disk)] in this order, then
[Unformat !] momentarily. Finally, the unit displays
the
Disk Format menu in Setup mode, showing the
following
screen.
2.Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The model name of the current drive’s hard disk appears
and [SURE ?] flashes, asking if you wish to format the
hard disk. (The “***” mark represents the model
name.)
3.Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The recorder displays the screen that enables you to set
the sampling frequency and bit resolution. (With the
default setting, [44.1kHz 24bit?] appears.)
Refer to the table on page 30 and turn the JOG dial to
select the desired setting from among [44.1kHz 24bit?],
[44.1kHz 16bit?], [48kHz 24bit?], [48kHz 16bit?], and
[96k 24bit 8trk?].
4.After you select the desired sampling frequency
and bit resolution using the JOG dial, press the
EXECUTE/YES key.
The recorder displays the screen which enables you to
set the Multiple Undo function on or off.
5.After setting the Multiple Undo function on or off
using the JOG dial, press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The recorder displays the screen which enables you to
select the format type. With the default setting,
[Standard Format?] appears.
If you are formatting an unformatted disk, you can select
either Standard Format or Quick Format.
6.Use the JOG dial to select the desired format type,
then press and hold down the RECORD button and
press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The recorder starts formatting the disk, and displays
the size of the unformatted area on the target disk.
This value counts down as the formatting operation
proceeds. Also, all the LED segments at the “
∞
” level
of
the meter light up, and each one of them turns off
sequentially from right to left as the formatting
operation
proceeds. Wait until the format operation is
complete.
Formatting a hard disk of large capacity using
the
Standard Format type will take more time. (Quick
Format
will be completed immediately.)
7.After formatting is complete, press the EXIT/NO
key (or the STOP button).
The recorder exits Setup mode and indicates the top of
the disk in the ABS time base. Formatting creates a new
Program on the disk.
<Available recording time after formatting (common to D824 and D1624)>
A greater sampling frequency will reduce the available recording time/space after formatting. Under the same
sampling frequency setting, the greater quantization (bit number) reduces the available recording time.
The following table shows the "approximate available recording time" under each sampling frequency/quantiza-
tion. Depending on your medium, the available recording time may differ slightly. It will be a good idea to check
the available recording time after formatting.
